Traveling through another world as a sacrifice
Chapter 110 Looking for Cotton
Chapter 110 Looking for Cotton
"Huhu~" When Wang Xiaoyu walked out of the clothing store, she had already changed into a new down jacket. She looked up at the busy traffic outside, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
When she heard the question from the store owner before, she thought she had heard it wrong, but later she understood the reason after the other party's explanation. She didn't expect that down jackets were so crazy that they were sold by weight.
Due to the scarcity of raw materials, many merchants have to reduce the filling amount of down jackets. The less down, the warmth retention will naturally be worse. Therefore, merchants divide down jackets into several grades according to the amount of down filling.The higher the content, the more expensive it is.
The price of an ordinary down jacket in this store is sky-high. Originally, Wang Xiaoyu wanted to exchange it with the jade necklace around her neck, but she didn't expect that the shop owner actually took a fancy to the duck down of her damaged down jacket.
Anyway, Wang Xiaoyu also planned to change to a new one, and immediately agreed to the other party's request. Not only did she get new clothes, but she also got a few extra silver coins. This result made Wang Xiaoyu overjoyed. Delivered to your door.
Now that she has money, her body is warm. The next step is to look for cotton seeds. Wang Xiaoyu touched the few silver coins in her pocket, and followed the directions she remembered to the market where small commodities were sold.
The market is still in the original place, but it is much bigger than the last time I saw it. It is now dinner time, so the road is full of people who come to buy vegetables.
Wang Xiaoyu squeezed into the crowd with great effort. She started searching from the first booth, and she didn't miss anything that looked like cotton or cotton seeds. It's a pity that she didn't find even a similar thing after searching around.
Although there are still many stalls selling things, Wang Xiaoyu began to give up in her heart. She guessed that cotton may not have appeared in this era. If this is the case, then her wish has no chance to come true.
The only desire to prove her ability was shattered, and Wang Xiaoyu was very frustrated. She stood up and planned to try the last vendor. If the other vendor didn't have one, then she gave up searching the rest of the stalls.
This is a stall that sells vegetable seeds. There are various seeds on the one-meter-long cotton and linen. The seller is an old man who looks thin and has listless eyes. When a customer came, the old man moved his dry lips and asked, "Miss, do you want to buy seeds? I have all kinds of vegetable seeds here, and the price is cheap."
Wang Xiaoyu looked at the seeds on it, and found none that looked like cotton. Just as she was about to give up, she asked casually, "Do you have any cotton seeds here?"
"Cotton?" The old man was attracted by the new term Wang Xiaoyu said, he raised his wrinkled face and looked at Wang Xiaoyu suspiciously.
"Cotton is..." Wang Xiaoyu saw that the old man sold many types, and thought that he might have seen it even if he didn't, so he described the characteristics of cotton in detail, from its origin to its characteristics.
The old man was not interested at first. When he heard Wang Xiaoyu say that cotton can replace expensive down, his cloudy eyes instantly caught the huge value of cotton. He began to actively ask questions, and asked someone to borrow a pen and paper to record the cotton characteristic.
When Wang Xiaoyu and the old man were having a heated discussion, a woman passed behind with a child. The woman was wearing an apron. She was holding the child in one hand and carrying a bamboo basket in the other. It looked like a family going out to buy vegetables. housewife.
It's not uncommon for mothers and children to buy groceries. There are many on the street, which is nothing. However, when the little girl led by the woman passed behind Wang Xiaoyu, she couldn't help but reached out and grabbed the hat of the down jacket.
Wang Xiaoyu was discussing cotton with the old man. He didn't expect that someone would suddenly grab his hat. He was shocked by this sudden attack and immediately stood up. "Who, who grabbed my hat?"
It doesn't matter if she shouted, everyone in the market was attracted by the sound, and many of these people were people who had seen Wang Xiaoyu just now, so they recognized Wang Xiaoyu at a glance, and immediately shouted. come over.
"Fuck, why is my mother so stupid." Wang Xiaoyu cursed and wanted to run wildly, but because the market was small and crowded, she was soon surrounded by crowds from all directions.
Among these flocks of people, some are because of admiration, some are onlookers, and some people are taking advantage of the opportunity. No matter what era, the nature of men is the same.
Now, the high priests are right in front of them, and some men with wretched thoughts are fishing in troubled waters. They take advantage of the chaos of the crowd and stretch out their salty hands to rub oil on Wang Xiaoyu's body vigorously, sometimes kneading and sometimes stroking.
"Fuck, who the hell touched me." Wang Xiaoyu was so crowded by the crowd that she couldn't move, feeling that someone was taking advantage of her, but she couldn't run away, so she could only curse angrily, but facing the din of people around her, she This sound was like a steel needle falling into the sea, and was quickly drowned out.
Just when Wang Xiaoyu was very sad, she felt that someone was grabbing her hand. She thought it was someone who wanted to take advantage of it, and when she was trying to get rid of it, she heard a somewhat familiar voice whispering; "It's me, Ellen. , I'll take you out, hold my hand tightly."
"Alan?" Wang Xiaoyu thought she heard it wrong. She took a closer look and found that it was Alan who hadn't seen him for a long time. When she was about to ask why the other party was here, Alan pulled her wrist hard.
Wang Xiaoyu knew that Alan would not harm him, so he held on to the opponent's hand, and followed him back and forth to the left and right. After some strenuous warm-up exercises, the two finally squeezed out of the crowded crowd.
Many people didn't know that Wang Xiaoyu had slipped behind them, and there were still many people struggling to squeeze into the crowd. Such a terrifying scene made the escaped Wang Xiaoyu burst into a cold sweat.
"Don't look, let's go." Allen tugged at Wang Xiaoyu's wrist.
"En." Wang Xiaoyu nodded, also knowing that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time, the two people's low-key departure did not attract the attention of the large army, but attracted the attention of a small group of people.
Allen dragged Wang Xiaoyu and ran all the way. He had been staying around here for a while, so he was familiar with the nearby terrain. He thought he could quickly shake off the tail behind him, but what made Allen depressed was that no matter where he went No matter which way to run, the opponent can always appear from another direction.
"Damn, I don't believe it anymore." Allen got angry, and he pulled Wang Xiaoyu into a dark alley quickly. As soon as the two entered the alley, they were almost overwhelmed by a pungent smell. A smell of rotten fish and rotten shrimp, even if you cover your nose with your hand, you can still smell it.
This alley is very dilapidated, and less than 50 meters long are piled up with all kinds of household garbage. Most of these garbage are discarded by vendors in the nearby market. Most of them are rotten and spoiled food. Originally, these foods were not poisonous. , but when they gather together, they will form a poisonous miasma.
On weekdays, almost no one comes to this alley, and people prefer to take a detour to avoid it. Therefore, no matter day or night, this alley is always so quiet.
"Little fish, you hide here first. I'll lure them away." After Allen finished speaking, he turned around and was about to rush out.
Wang Xiaoyu looked at the back of Alan who turned around, and felt a sense of panic for a moment. She always felt that the other party would not come back after leaving like this. She couldn't help grabbing Alan's hand.
Feeling his hand being grabbed, Alan turned his head in doubt. Because the sky was too dark, he couldn't see the expression on Wang Xiaoyu's face clearly, so he thought Wang Xiaoyu was afraid. When Alan was about to comfort him, he saw I felt my hand tighten suddenly.
"You...be careful." After a while, Wang Xiaoyu struggled to choke out a few words, as if she had exhausted all her strength, she stopped making a sound after speaking.
Allen looked deeply at Wang Xiaoyu, his blue eyes were star-studded, and his indelible pampering was enough to capture any woman. He suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, pursing his mouth in a beautiful arc.Such a bright smile is even brighter than the stars in the sky, which makes people feel intoxicated.
Wang Xiaoyu stared blankly at Alan, her eyes were completely taken away by the bright smile in front of her eyes, for a moment, she forgot to react, and just stared blankly at the handsome face in front of her getting closer ...
"Bang bang..." Allen felt his heart beating faster than ever. He stared at the person in front of him who was thinking about it day and night, and the blood in his body began to rush to his brain...
"He's here!" At this critical moment, a discordant voice pierced the romantic atmosphere like a sharp knife, followed by footsteps.
"Damn bastard!" Allen cursed, he wished to tear the owner of the voice into pieces, seeing that those people had chased him to the alley, Allen had no choice but to give up his plan to continue, and he took off Wang Xiaoyu's shirt Putting on the clothes on himself, he quickly ran to the other end of the alley.
"Stop, don't run!" The pursuers mistakenly thought that the figure in front was Wang Xiaoyu, so they didn't even look at the surrounding environment, and went straight after Alan.
Wang Xiaoyu hid behind the garbage and waited for a while. Seeing that no one had returned, he stood up from behind the garbage pile where he was hiding; "Huhu, I was smoked to death."
Wang Xiaoyu ran to the alley to take a few breaths of fresh air, then returned to the original place and waited quietly for Alan to come back. As time went by, Wang Xiaoyu began to worry.
She kept telling herself to be calm, but when she thought that something might happen to Allen, Wang Xiaoyu couldn't calm down. After what happened to Andy, she never wanted to see someone sacrificed for her.
"Alan, you must be fine!" While praying for Alan, Wang Xiaoyu swears in her heart that if she counts to 100 and the person hasn't returned, she will go out to look for it.
